SectionC3

It’s been this way for so long that I know no different. There’s things that people do at games that I don’t like. Drinking, chief among them. It leads to all sorts of boorish behavior. But that’s what happens at Bills games. And, part of the experience for Bills fans is to stand to watch their team. They’re intense and into the game. So they stand. It’s how it goes.

I’ve thought about it plenty. My position remains the same. I don’t see it as materially different from fans being loud or engaging in another activity of which one might find disruptive to the game day experience.

It’s passion. And interest. It’s what people do at sporting events when tension is high. I don’t see it as inconsiderate.

Normally I would agree completely and unequivocally with what you just said. And ultimately I think you’re right. Here’s the caveat in this situation - Dorsey’s tantrum was after the game, and the circumstances were unique in that we had overcome just about everything circumstances could throw at us (volcanic temperatures, injuries before the game, injuries during the game) in an extremely emotional division matchup with what sounded like a loud crowd. I get the outburst in that scenario. I really do. He just can’t do it again, and he can’t act like a psycho for the reasons you outlined. Can’t ask his players to be composed if he can’t manage it himself.

They were at a Bills game.

FYI - I’ve been a season ticket holder for decades. Our section in the lower bowl stands for every meaningful play. Has done so for years. Many other sections are like that in the lower bowl. So these Bills fans are just bringing a slice of Buffalo on the road with them. Their behavior is not only appropriate, but normal in Buffalo. It was tipped. The ball basically kept its spiral because of its velocity.

His body language looks like that of a guy whose confidence is shot. He needs a few things to go his way. moss, however … ugh.

Agree with all of this, and I'll add that I think the game plan went out the window early because of a combination of a lot of things, including and especially the heat issues on the OL, Kumerow's acute injury, and Davis's lingering injury. The more distant we get from this game, the more impressed I am with how resilient we were (especially on the defensive side of the ball).

Gotta catch him with that anchor hanging around first. This is a tough break. But maybe we see more Siran Neal this week, anyways, kind of like what we did against NE on the road last year. I don’t know. It’s getting tough to keep all of this straight with all of these injuries.

I was wondering about the club myself. Going to be tough to chase Jackson around with the club. But maybe they try that.

Looks like Siran Neal on the outside this week. I’m tempted to say they stick him on the boundary side, let Elam play the field, and see what happens. Next man up. Go Bills.

On a beach, FWIW.

I just got done with the second half. The most impactful injury today was Mitch Morse. Josh Allen is the best QB in football. And Baker had McKenzie on the last play. McKenzie had to cut it upfield. Next week can’t arrive soon enough.

Based on how his pre-season usage I wonder if Thomas fell out of favor here. He probably was #6 on the S depth chart.

I hope for the person's sake that he is healthy and that whatever injury he has does not prevent him from living a long, happy, and comfortable life. As far as losing the player, it's hard, and it's especially hard with our top two corners out this week. But safety and guard are the easiest positions to play, and we'll make it work the rest of the year and moving forward. Maybe the pick we received from Arizona gets flipped at some point for DB help. Or maybe Cam Lewis becomes a top backup at S when White returns. Or maybe Benford plays some deep safety when White comes back (this might be a good idea for this year, but I love that kid at corner right now). I trust this staff to figure this one out.

I suppose we’re talking about SNAP, SSI, unemployment, maybe some HEAP here and there, too. The kind of stuff that Ricky from the trailer park needs to stay warm and fed while he Googles QAnon conspiracy theories and spends my tax dollars on MAGA gear.

Hoax. Right now our welfare system supports poor whites, who generally vote for Trump. So, while I disagree with all of your post, I especially disagree with the starvation component. He'd be right there with all of the Trumpers who whine about socialism and then take government handouts. Unless you're an African American. Or someone with kids who had to deal with the BS from COVID. Or a fiscal conservative, who doesn't like to wantonly increase the national deficit. Or a farmer who had to get subsidy because of the "easy to win" trade war. Or someone who believes in our state institutions. Or someone who likes democracy and truth. Or a dreamer. Or a union member.

He missed practice this week. (For his little guy's soccer team in Orchard Park. Could have been because the grass was slick. A lot of other kids blew it off, too. Usually he and Dawkins are there, but they both skipped it this week.)

Me too on the career thing. I didn’t want to say it, but that’s where I’m at. There was mention of Eichel up thread. The Eichel situation is one that arose from the desire of the Sabres to protect the player by refusing a risky surgery. The Bills—before and during the Pegula ownership—historically have been very careful about spinal issues. Derrick Burroughs was retired early. Kevin Everett’s ability to ambulate, and maybe his life, was saved by drills to prepare for his exactly his type of injury. Eric Wood left early. And Dane Jackson was taken from the field on a board and an ambulance in an abundance of caution a few hours before he walked out of ECMC. I have a hard time believing that the local docs gave Hyde’s neck injury a good prognosis with which he disagrees. I hope I’m wrong, for his sake. (And I suppose it could very well be that he wants a second set of eyes on the issue given his own history and the fact that he has a family to raise.) But, from a football perspective, the situation is concerning.

My totally instinctive but **completely** baseless gut reaction is that he received some significant bad news.

Hoax. It’s ineffective with respect to COVID.

So you don’t support the use of HCQ? And didn’t when it was the rage among your culty pals? Fair enough. It’s good to know that you acknowledge that Doc’s theory about the efficacy of HCQ as a COVID treatment is a hoax.

Hoax. You said that I was obsessed with "anyone . . ."

I think we took a penalty to get to that point though, right? Sometime barking works. There was no downside to doing it there. And, at some point, someone will get complacent in that situation and we will sneak it for the first down.

Are those the Bruno Magli bills edition shoes? Seriously. I didn’t support taking this guys name off the wall until now. But this remorseless scumbag needs to go away and be thankful that he’s not in San Quentin.
